India Limited (MSIL) has expanded its solar energy capacity by 30 megawatt-peak (MWp) with two new installations. A 20MWp solar project has been commissioned at its new manufacturing facility in Kharkhoda,

, and an additional 10MWp capacity has been added at the Manesar facility. With these developments, the company’s total solar capacity has increased from 49MWp to 79MWp in the past year.

MSIL is also sourcing a growing portion of green energy from State Electricity Boards. The company aims to shift a larger share of its electricity use toward renewable sources.

Long-term renewable energy goals
Maruti Suzuki plans to expand its total solar capacity to 319MWp by FY2030-31, supported by an investment of over ₹925 crore. The company expects renewable sources to account for approximately 85% of its total electricity consumption by that time.

Hisashi Takeuchi, MD & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “Aligned with our parent company, Suzuki Motor Corporation's Environment Vision 2050 and the Government of India's focus on renewable energy, we are systematically enhancing the use of renewable energy in our operations. By FY2030-31, Maruti Suzuki plans to reach 319MWp of solar capacity, backed by an investment of over ₹925 crore. As we scale up production to four million units, we are committed to matching that growth with equally ambitious sustainable energy practices. This solar power expansion is a crucial step towards creating a cleaner, more sustainable energy ecosystem and contributes positively to the environment.”

“Through sustained efforts, the share of renewable source of energy in total electricity consumption is expected to reach nearly 85% by FY2030-31,” he added.

MSIL’s solar initiatives are part of its broader transition to green manufacturing practices and align with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #7 on affordable and clean energy.
